From over the Sea.

Love travels fast and travels far, nor
can the broad Atlantic stop or stay its
course, which in some cases does run
smooth. An instance of this kind may
now be noted, in the happy event that
took place at the residence of Mr.. Eugene
Won Boeckman, Sunday evening. 1t was
a wedding, of course, and the joining of
two souls, who, but week or so ago, we're
many thousand miles apart. The happy
pair were Mr.. Max Homeyer and Miss
Minnie Buckle, the young lady having left
her native land Germany to come to
Texas to marry the expectant and happy
groom. The wedding ceremony was per-
formed by Rev. Ernst Metzenthin, pastor
of the German Lutheran church, in the
presence of q circle of friends who
showered congratulations upon the pair.
Mr.. Homeyer went to Fort Worth few
evenings since to meet his bride, but in
some way missed her at that city, and she
came on to Austin, while he had to take
the next train. She was an entire
stranger. but was fortunately met at the
depot by Mr.. Homeyer's friends, who
welcomed her warmly and extended every
hospitality, until the return of the groom
and this happy cdnsummation of their
affection Sunday evening.

The Biscuits We Eat.

The modern biscuit has very many

Of plain light cake made of -four. cream
and soda that was wholesome and took
the place OF bread FOR the morning or
evening meal. Thee light, flaky, grand
mother biscuits were generally served
hot, with fresh yellow butter and honey
or maple syrup, and person who did not
relish such a meal was pronounced sick
or in possession of an unapprcciatiyc APP
petite. In modern cookery there Is q
variety of biscuits. \ host Of different
shaped cakes and crackers are now called
biscuits. The cakes are sweet, as are
also some varieties of crackers which 90

cult was designed to be eaten hot, but the
modern biscuit is made with view TO
last for weeks, and not consumed until
cold. There are a number Of biscuit fac
tories in Chicago that DO large business
in their line shipping their goods TO all
parts Of the country. They are made in
different shapes-squarc, round or scol-
lopcd-and one grade is cut 10 represent

brown flour biscuits and the oatmeal

The yuma Prison Emeute.

The attempted emeute last week of
the prisoners Of the Territorial prison,
which resulted in four killed and al
most death to the superintendent,
gives food for reflection. The cause
which led to the attempted outbreak
is far.reaching. 1t is fact which
cannot be ignored that for months
and up to within month ago there
was divided authority in the man.
agement of the prison. 1t is well
known that majority of the Board of
Prison Commissioners appointed as
turnkey, or assistant superintendent, a
man who was personally unfriendly to
the superintendent. This appoint
ment was made in the face Of strong
objections of the superintendent, as
he declared the management should
be harmonious, but notwithstanding
all this the majority Of the board in
sisted on carrying out their private
wishes, although in conflict with those
of the superintendent of the prison.
The result was the feeling of hostility
of the assistant superintendent to his
chief became more and more appar-
ent, go much so that it was common
talk among the inmates OF the .peni.
tentiary. Could such condition OF
things result in anything save insu-
bordination2
It is also fact which should not be
lost sight Of, that the last Legislature
passed an act which placed
Il out of the power of the
Superintendent Of the prison to re-
move or appoint an Assistant Superin-
tendent, no matter how urgent the
necessity. The reason for the passage
of this law was for no other purpose
than to hamper and curtail the au-
thority Of the Superintendent.
And yet there is no trust in the
void where such absolute power
should be vested as in the Superin-
tendent of a prison, for he has charge
of the worst elements of society, the
criminal class, the murderer, the rob-
Der, the villain in every guise. A
divided authority in such a case means
nothing more nor less than weakness
of the government of such an institu-
ton.
The cause of the attempted outbreak
is far reaching, and had death resulted
to the superintendent of the prison his
blood would not have been so much
on the hands of those who struck the
fatal blow as upon those who by their
acts rendered insubordination possi-
